My beloved daughter Misty Dawn died 8/1/2012 and I was fortunate to connect with Dr. Jo in 2013. The compassion and education I received through Dr. Jo’s work gave my broken heart a home. I felt safe to share what is the hardest thing a human can endure – the traumatic loss of a child. I felt that I might actually be able to survive her death. I’ve been volunteering as a HOPE Mentor since 2014. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time at the Selah Carefarm over recent years. I am a Compassionate Bereavement Care Provider and have taken the Advanced Skills classes as well. I facilitate Support Groups for moms who’ve lost a child to Suicide, and to Substance related causes. Currently I Co-Coordinate the HOPE Mentor program and serve as Hospitality Coordinator for the Carefarm. Volunteering with others who are traumatically bereaved has been the most purposeful ‘work’ I’ve ever done. I am honored and full of gratitude for being part of the MISS Foundation.
